#the way rebecca's talked about him in the past def feels a little more genuine than any of his other beards

I was always curious about one thing. Zerrie was fake, Zigi still is, but what about Rebecca and Geneva? Were they beards/pr too?

i do believe rebecca was probably pr...maybe i'm wrong and they genuinely did have some connection b/t them but imo it made absolutely no sense for a mid 20-something year old woman with kids to be dating a (barely legal) teenager, and txf def seems to have a history where they loved to use hamfisted "relationships" between contestants to promo the show and/or promo their bigger acts - your two series runner-ups (or 'rejects' as the dailymail so lovingly refers to them lol) dating makes for great headlines. and ofc it came right at the end of the txf live tour when they would've had not much else to help generate promo for the show/franchise, and which would've kept ppl's interest up just in time for the start of the upcoming season (which began airing less than a month after the break-up announcement).

then there's the fact that they were first spotted together coming out of a nightclub which just screams pr. if it wasn't about headlines they could've very easily used a back door or side entrance rather than the front door or somewhere where paps would obviously be waiting. they also could've gone to a club somewhere much more lowkey where they wouldn't be so easily spotted or papped (i'm sure there's plenty around london). on top of that the only pictures i've seen of them together don't even look very romantic at all tbh - in most of the ones from the nightclub for instance zayn is standing like 2-3 feet away from her, and in the ones where he's actually making physical contact with her his arm is either stretched out to her to from a bunch of feet away or just looks like he's awkwardly guiding/pushing her like someone just reminded him he's supposed to be touching her and he didn't know what to do lol. there's even some pics of them in a car afterwards and there's a second girl sitting between them in the car (who also got caught in a couple of the pics coming out of the club)...not very romantic to bring along a third wheel to your date night and let that third wheel sit between you after your date lol

the only other pics of them i could find are just moments where they happen to be sitting or standing next to/nearby each other not really interacting (in one of them zayn is walking like 4 feet apart from her with his head down and his eyes glued to his phone screen - if that doesn't scream we're madly in love idk what does lmao)

(also, this is a little separate from z & rebecca's specific situation since that happened after the show & live tour was mostly over, but in general for a show like txf to even allow open dating b/t contestants is kinda weird and sus when you think about it cause normally on reality shows like those it's built into the contract to specifically bar contestants from publicly dating so as to avoid dealing with any complications that might cause issues for the show, like if someone got pregnant/or assaulted/got a serious std/whatever and had to leave the show/tour before it was over)

(to your second point, can't speak to geneva for sure as there's not much out there of them together and they don't appear to really ever have been used for any sort of promo i don't believe, but that coupled with zayn's behavior/body language around her in the little bit of public footage there is available of them, makes me lean toward them potentially being genuine. he at least seemed more genuinely comfortable around her than i've ever seen him with any of the beards lol, so even if they didn't have a full-on relationship i could definitely believe they at least hooked-up or something along those lines)
